The Golden State Warriors didn’t need Kevin Durant to close out the Houston Rockets in Round Two. They didn’t need him to win Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Portland Trail Blazers.

We’ll see if they can win Game 2 without him tomorrow. Durant is expected to miss his third straight game with a calf strain, according to Yahoo’s Chris Haynes.

The sharpshooting superstar injured his calf late in Golden State’s Game 5 win over Houston in the Western Conference semifinals. He is yet to return to the court.

Golden State star Kevin Durant (calf strain) will not play in Game 2 of the WCF against Portland, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
